WHAT I’M READING · BOOKS & SUBSTACKS I LOVE
The books on my nightstand.
Every writer is a reader first. Here is what I am reading now, the writers who shaped The Penny, and the Substacks I never miss. Reading something wonderful? Tell me. I would love to add it.
ON MY NIGHTSTAND NOW
KELLY ANDERSON
I met Kelly at a Gateless Writing retreat, where she told me to quit my job and write. I didn’t quit, but I never forgot the push. A Reese’s Book Club pick I couldn’t put down.
JODI PICOULT
Timely and brave, it puts women’s health in the spotlight, and Jodi Picoult is simply an incredible writer. Besides, if a book gets banned, it usually ends up on my nightstand.
ADRIANA TRIGIANI
I have loved Adriana Trigiani forever. Her writing is warm, easy and soothing, like a long visit with family.
